Should you not wish to agree, it is everyone's perogative. No flame for anyone here. It is not better IMO

Shine is often more subjective than durability and ease of application. So far, in the durability and ease, Rejex has the following beat in my book: One Grand Blitz, Nufinish, Zaino ZFX, and Meguiars.

Thus far my short (2 wks) experience w/RejeX is that, at least on my car & to my eyes, the shine is about the same as w/Zaino - no better & no worse. However, compared to Zaino, I've found RejeX easier to apply/remove, easier to spot clean w/quick detailer & less expensive. I applied it w/a PC & needed very little for my car. Shine longevity & finish durability are yet to be experienced by me. If they're good, I'll be a convert.
BTW
Assuming anyone here is interested in long term opinions of RejeX w/some actually based on objective testing, members of other boards such as Autopia.org (the "Rennlist" of detailing) & Audiworld.com have been using & posting about RejeX for over a year. But, be warned, you may find that Monique is not alone in his opinions, especially among the AR detailing "gurus" on Autopia.

Don't know about durability but your statement about ease of application is spot on.

My testing was objective; before applying RejeX I began investigating the distributorship for Europe. I was prepared (really, I wanted) to be impressed. The end result only matches my normal premium product.
Your comment about waxes is interesting; a consumer group in the UK tested many different waxes and Turtle Wax came out on top. We can conclude that higher price does not mean better product. Rejex is very easy to apply though pricey.

Dan,
Just a PC question. How do you handle the used pads? Do you clean them after each use or store them in a Zip-lock bage between uses? I imagine it takes a bit of Wax/Polish just to load the pad each time.
Can I also assume you are using the standard white pad?
Thanks
Dave.

I called in an attempt to order a bottle and got an answering machine requesting i leave a message if i wanted to place an order. I got no call back, so i called again the next day, still no return call. i think they may have already lost a prospective customer. I have a feeling it will be similar to zaino anyway, which i think is way overrated. I find it hard to compare these products amongst one another b/c we are all from different parts of the country, subjecting our cars to varying weather conditions. Perhaps even more importantly everyone's cars are exposed to elements in varying degrees, so when people discuss longevity of wax, polish etc. it really should be qualified how often their car is in the sun, and rain, vs. the garage.

I use a black (velcro backed) pad to apply my finish product. The pad is stored in a plastic bag between uses. When needed, I hand wash the pad:
... simply add an ounce of dish washing detergent to a 5 gallon bucket and [fill] it with water. Soak the dirty pad for up to 30 minutes. After soaking, massage the pads to work out the caked in polish, then squeeze out the soapy water. Empty and refill the bucket with fresh water. Rinse the pads in the bucket of fresh water, squeeze, and set aside to air dry. Do not machine dry.

FWIW- I called Barry Wedsnesday, and just got my bottle a 1/2 hour ago.
Oh, it smells like wax??? We'll see over the weekend.
By the way, has anyone used this stuff on their "stone guard"/ Armourshield clear plastic?

I have a question: why all the argument overshine provided by a wax/protectant? I always thought starting with a nice, clean, smooth, polished paint surface was more important than the protective outer layer? Just about any old wax should be buffable to a smooth reflective surface...
